I also thought of imaging OIII and SII in bin2x2, but in the end decided to stick with 1x1 and combine all three channels into a super-luminance.

Looking forward to the tri-colour edition of the swan and its cygnet.

Thanks again, Suavi, that's kind and very encouraging.

When we were doing the outer chevrons of the Helix, the 2x2 binning found stuff in say 10 hours that 50+ hours of unbinned had failed to find. We think it can be useful, but it does usually mean a detectable loss of sharpness.

Soul-calming could be very useful right now, with fencers and plumbers and earth-movers, not to mention car roo damage repairers all hard at work, and sending bills.

Thanks Rodney!
